On the way to London. Why do I always feel so very weird about returning to the UK?

The newly elected Danish parliament has 48% women and the average age of parliamentarians is 43,9 years, reflecting our society with 51% women and an average age of 42,6 years.

As fresh as it comes.

Enghave Kirke (1960), Vesterbro, København.

My dept @ Copenhagen Business School) has an open PhD scholarship in business humanities. Do you know a potential candidate? An excellent scholar in history who would thrive in a collaborative, interdisciplinary business school setting? Please tell them to get in touch www.cbs.dk/en/about-cbs...

Deleuze's cat absolutely poised to take a mad zoomy line of flight right out the picture.

Fabulous Pub 53 and its giant corkscrew.

One place to begin would be with Josiah Wedgwood, who honed introspection to a fine art (thank god, blessing us with his letters).

Back to CPH.DOX for "Palestinian Unwanted." A very Danish story. cphdox.dk/film/palesti...

18.30 espresso.

Never forget.

Just watched this beautiful film this afternoon at CPH:DOX. We recommend it: One in a Million: cphdox.dk/da/film/one-...

This is a war of utter feckless depravity

I live five minutes from the best bar in the world* *You might also live five minutes from the best bar in the world. Mine is still best. And yours.

In Denmark it is time to start gearing up for the annual "Vi Cykler til Arbejde" (We Cycle to Work) competition, in which work place based teams compete across May to see who can log the most Km cycled to work. Being Denmark, we are all trusted to self-report our distances honestly. www.vcta.dk

@annales.ehess.fr announces the death of renowned French historian Jacques Revel. I had the honour of sharing some time with him in a workshop on one occasion.

Coincidence?

Green transition.

Overwhelmed this evening with gratitude for the patience of a journal and its editors as I have slowly and sometimes reluctantly, painfully dragged a piece I thought probably unpublishable into the shape of something that might be accepted.

@danskerhverv.dk åbnede en ny udstilling på Børsen, da den er restaureret efter den frygtelige brand i 2024. Den er rigtig god, jeg kan anbefale den. Med én undtagelse. De to paneler om kolonialhandel, som endda siger "trekantshandelen", nævner slet ikke slaveri. Det er en chokerende udeladelse.

@danskerhverv.dk have opened a new exhibition at Børsen as it is restored following the terrible fire of 2024. It is very good. I recommend it. With one exception. The two panels on colonial trade, which talk about "the triangular trade," make no mention at all of slavery. It is a shocking omission.

Kenelm Digby (1603-1665) writing of his grief after the death of his wife Venetia: 'everywhere I carry my hell with me'.

Historians and archivists, let me see your archival wardrobes! And what was your gateway?

Late to the party, but very grateful for the invitation.

Me too!

I’m an absolute sucker for the work of L.A. Ring and finally got to see the incredible collection at Ordrupgaard Museum this afternoon.

God morgen!

Beowulf, by Billy Wilder.

Bookmarking.

Hegseth's gloating bloodlust is grotesque and degrading.

I was falling into the all too easy trap of reading this war as a stupid farce (after all, it *is* a stupid farce). Then yesterday morning I ran into the Iranian researcher my department is hosting and their face told me everything. This is not some comedy of errors.

It would be hard to design a more ideal reader for this paper; I grew up a white suburban punk/indie kid who avidly devoured the NME in the late-70s to mid-80s, who first encountered Black Britain thro' music, & who went on to become an historian. But you won't have to be me to find it fascinating

Osram Huset (1953), Valhalsgade, Copenhagen. Tucked away on an obscure side street, this building is a delight.

People get up, take children to school, go to work, go shopping for groceries, cook dinner. And sometimes, one day, a missile vaporizes you.

When they renamed it the Department of War they really meant it.

My all time favourite Chrales Dcikens novel.

Meanwhile ...

I'm delighted for Hannah Spencer, the Green Party, and the people of Gorton and Denton. I now observe from a distance but it seems remarkable to me how quickly the two-party system is eroding, despite the lack of electoral reform.

I would love to boost the account of @entandsoc.bsky.social, probably* the best journal of business history in the world. So if you (or your followers) are interested in business history, very broadly defined, please consider following and reposting bsky.app/profile/enta...

Read all about it!

I was already halfway convinced that grading was largely pointless and should be abolished. And then I got a job teaching in Denmark.

Lol. I’m feeling a little too much seen.

Here's a small commitment. I have never and will never use any form of AI in writing an editorial decision letter.

Me too, Anders.

This is just a really a beautifully written piece.

Are you lucky enough to have a local library that you love? I am and aim to cherish it.
